Friday Afternoon Commute - "They're what?" said Amsterdam

Good afternoon

European embassies are hosting open houses on Saturday as part of a tourism sales pitch called "Shortcut to Europe" The Danish embassy will be celebrating bike culture since "since Copenhagen is the Bike Capital of the World."

Despite recent opinion pieces, some writers at the WaTimes are big fans of biking. "Riding a bicycle in a city like DC is the best, and if you’ve been riding for a while you might say its theonly, way to get around. Let me just preface this by saying that I had not been on a bike in 20 years. My husband first brought up the idea when we were dating and I was initially steadfastly against it. It took him two years, but I finally got a bike and got on the road. I was hesitant at first, as every new rider should be, but now my bike has become my favorite mode of transportation, even in the winter. I have had my bike for 14 months now and I hate to admit it but at this point I’d rather give up my car than my bike."
